Slow Democracy tells the stories of citizens who are breathing new life into local democracy—regaining community control of local forests and energy systems, guiding education decisions, and more. They are bridging traditional political divides and making genuine progress that seems impossible at the national level.

In Slow Democracy, community leader Susan Clark and democracy scholar Woden Teachout describe today's cutting-edge techniques and communication tools citizens are using to put slow democracy into action. They show us how inclusive, deliberative, citizen-powered local change is not just better for residents, it lasts longer and has impacts that can extend across the nation and around the world.
